Linking the Cyprus issue to the Kurdish issue of Turkey is the only effective way to [a] uncover Turkish hypocrisy on her approach to majority-minority community relations [b] bring about a fair and permanent settlement to Cyprus' Turkish problem and [c] help bring community status recognition for the close to 20 million Kurds of Turkey.
A win-win-win for the Kurdish, Turkish and Cypriot peoples.
It may also bring about the first ever truly democratic constitution in Turkey's history!

The sheer beauty of the four-party conference!

Instead of Turkey demonizing the overwhelming majority of Cyprus, the Greek Cypriots, and the ethnic minority of Kurds in Turkey, as the only way to cover up her inconsistencies, fascism and pseudo-democracy, she should instead be brave enough to sit around a table with the Republic of Cyprus, her Kurdish community and the Turkish Cypriot community to share her ideas and principles about majority-minority relations in unitary states.

Turkey of course has a serious conflict of interest. In two like situations she supports the majority's interests in one case and the minority's in the other, employing two entirely different sets of arguments. Always demonizing the opponent by use of her ultra powerful deep-state propaganda apparatus. Her use of appalling force in the case of Cyprus is meant to ostensibly protect a 12-15% Turkish Cypriot minority when in fact she violates the territorial integrity of a UN/EU state and the human rights of all the Cypriots since 1974, whereas in Turkey itself her appalling use of force is meant to suppress anything Kurdish, for 87 years unabated.

Turkey does not have the political cojones to attend such a conference because she knows her ultra hypocrisy will be unveiled. At such a conference the world will know beyond doubt that the majority of Cyprus, the Greek Cypriots, is light years ahead in her thinking vis-a-vis large ethnic minorities than the majority in Turkey, the ethnic Turks, the latter only just recently awaking to the reality that the Kurds are not Turks and that they want all their legitimate rights that every human being in the world deserves, i.e. social, economic and political rights unhindered by the state!

Such grand unveiling of Turkey's grand hypocrisy is the sheer beauty of the four-party conference idea!

If you would be willing to fund such a conference to take place in Q1-2012, with or without Turkey, please send me an email to abetterturkey@gmail.com

Turkey's Kurds & Cyprus' tCypriots

As either unitary state or federation solutions are discussed as replacements to Cyprus' 1960 and Turkey's 1923 unworkable constitutions, should we abide by "if a right is a right too many for Turkey's Kurdish community (circa 23% of population) then that right is a right too many for Cyprus' tCypriot community too (circa 15%), and vice versa." Is the adoption of this fair logic the catalyst to securing just solutions for both UN countries.

DID TURKEY HAVE MORE REASONABLE OPTIONS IN 1974 GIVEN THAT NOT A SINGLE TURKISH CYPRIOT HAD BEEN HURT, AS A RESULT OF THE JULY 15TH ILLEGAL GREEK JUNTA COUP, UP UNTIL TURKEY'S DECLARATION OF WAR ON CYPRUS THE DAWN OF JULY 20TH?
